The koa tree — Acacia koa is its scientific name — has long been prized in Hawai`i, its wood once reserved strictly for roy-alty. The word “koa” means warrior in the Hawaiian language and indeed, the canoes that Hawaiian warriors sailed to conquer the island chain were made from koa, as well as some of the weapons they used in combat.
Today, replica Hawaiian weapons are still made utilizing koa wood lashed to shark’s teeth or marlin bills, the devas-tating effect of the weapons belied by their simplicity and artistic appearance.
Koa was also used to make the first surfboards in the islands, magnificently turned calabash bowls and other house-hold items, and later the first `ukuleles.
“Koa wood is associated with Hawai`i much like redwood is associated with the great forests of California or ebony wood with Africa,” says master wood-worker P.F. “Ski” Kwiatkowski. “The koa tree is the embodiment of Hawaiian for-est deities, and much revered.
“Specific rituals are observed when taking a tree. When a canoe was being built, for example, a kahuna would spend weeks in preparation and days camping in the forest to observe. If he saw elepaio birds — a small brown bird with white wing bars and tail tips that is endemic to Hawai`i, inhabiting mainly the upland forests — land in a tree, he knew that tree had bugs and wouldn’t be suitable.

“Once the perfect tree was selected, a ceremony would take place to consecrate it. Much chanting would ensue and a pure black pig was sacrificed. It was giving one life for another. In this way the spirit of the tree would live on in the canoe that was built using its wood.”
Most koa trees nowadays are found on private or state-owned lands. The trees are endemic to the islands and are found primarily on Hawai`i Island, Maui, and O`ahu, with smaller concentrations in the upland areas of Kauai. Koa is not endangered and, according to recent studies, there is more koa growing in Hawai`i now than 10 or 20 years ago.
While it might not be rare, it is expensive, mainly because it is difficult to obtain. Trees cannot be har-
vested on state lands by law, and private landowners are mostly holding onto their trees, often as investments for future generations. Thus, the price of a board foot starts at $20 and runs to $100 per board foot for premium, instru-ment-quality wood.
According to Kwiatkowski, a koa cabinet or dining room table now can cost upwards of $2,500, and a new canoe might cost $100,000, particularly if pre-mium curly koa is used. There are sev-eral designations of wood, depending on
color and amount of “curl” (the swirly features of the wood’s grain). The vari-ations are caused by the age of the tree, the weather conditions, and the soil and elevation where it is found. (Elevations between 3,500 to 4,500 feet are consid-ered the Goldilocks Zone for koa wood.)
“Koa has all the qualities that peo-ple want,” Kwiatkowski says. “It’s a good-looking wood with a rich history that makes solid furniture. Koa doesn’t grow on trees … it is the tree.”
THE WOOD OF KINGSAt Waikoloa Beach Resort, koa wood items can be found in several retail shops. In the Kings’ Shops, Martin & MacArthur has been one of the best-known names in koa furniture for almost 60 years in Hawai`i. The com-pany uses more than 100 local craftsmen who create numerous koa items includ-ing furniture, bowls and boxes, sculp-tures, framed feather lei and Hawaiian weapons, outrigger canoes, and it most popular item — koa watches.
Owner Michael Tam carries on the company’s proud tradition, using only dead and fallen trees from private ranches in South Kona. The company has created signature pieces for private homes around the world as well as many of the state’s best hotels.
“Koa is a symbol of strength and cour-age,” Tam says. “Martin & MacArthur is highly-respected as the finest retailer of koa products anywhere.”
Just as koa was associated with the monarchy in Hawai`i’s earlier times, a visit to Martin & MacArthur shows that the wood, when worked by today’s master craftsmen, still has a royal appearance.
Also in Kings’ Shops, Kohala Coast Fine Art carries small koa bowls and jewelry such as rings and earrings.
At Genesis Gallery, which has loca-tions in both Kings’ Shops and Queens’ MarketPlace, visitors will discover how koa is used in art and sculpture. Artist Walfrido Garcia has several distinctive pieces on display, includ-ing a “live edge” koa slab with an oil painting gracing its heart; and a koa veneer surfboard, also with a colorful oil painting adorning the front.
Genesis also carries sculptures and carvings by artist Craig Nichols, one example of which depicts a whale and a dolphin mid-leap; as well as intri-cate segmented vessels by woodworker Gregg Smith.
Koa wood musical instruments, which are said to have a warmer tonality than other woods, are found at Queens’ MarketPlace’s Hawaiian ‘Ukulele & Guitar.
And at Olivia Claire Boutique, more than 70 local artists and craftspeople are represented, including Jeremy Bigelow who makes koa salad tongs and chop-sticks, and woodworker Bill McMahon, whose koa salt and pepper grinders and other functional objects are among the store’s most popular sellers.
“I got into woodworking some 25 years ago,” McMahon says. “I live Volcano and had some koa trees I had planted on my land. Friends liked what I was doing and told me I could sell my work. At first I made bottle stoppers, then expanded to oil lamps, bowls, things like that. I found a niche in utilitarian art, stuff people can use.”
McMahon says he loves working with all the local woods. “They all have a unique feel,” he says. “But I do use mostly koa. Its colors range from bronze to deep chocolate, and it just has that mystique to it. It’s the wood of the Hawaiian monarchy… the wood of the kings.”

There’s no better time of day in Hawai`i than when the sun begins to set over the Pacific Ocean and the sky begins to turn hues of orange and gold. It’s even better if you find yourself at Lava Lava Beach Club with your toes in the sand, sweet live Hawaiian music gracing the air, and a cold beverage in hand.
And while sunset selfies make good Instagram posts, Lava Lava Beach Club checks a whole lot of other boxes too: delicious cuisine — think ahi nachos, coconut shrimp, ribs, burgers — beach-front accommodations, a popular Bloody Mary brunch, an event lawn with lawn games such as corn hole, and live music every night. As a special bonus, the legendary Henry Kapono performs one Saturday a month.
I n the Hawaiian language, “kuleana” means something akin to per-sonal responsibility. It is both a philosophy and a way of living in which one deeply respects the land, the people, and the traditions
of the Hawaiian culture. At Kuleana Rum Shack, a new restaurant that opened in late January in Queens’ MarketPlace, the word reflects the company’s founders’ approach to both making the rums they proudly serve and the food offered on their enticing menu. Highlighted by what can be described as “elevated local foods” such as poke bowls, chicken hekka, and shoyu pork, diners at Kuleana Rum Shack will savor food that people of the islands have been eating for generations, while also enjoying outstanding and unique cocktails.Additional comfort options include braised short ribs, prawns and beef in various preparations, and line-caught fish.Save room for dessert. Between the fresh, hot malasadas that come with three sauces that you inject into the warm donuts yourself, the pineapple upside down Kuleana rum cake, and the Big Island chocolate decadence topped with Waimea strawberries, the choices are tough.
